Hi, I’m gonna bang my head against this for a bit! No need to look for matrix replies or anything, I’m going to work on it solo for now because of timezone reasons and also because I’m more in the state for casual work and not intensive, active work. I’ll let you know how it goes. Thank you for your help <3

hi! I sincerely hope it has that level of impact, if I can meaningfully improve - let alone save - one girl’s life, it’ll have all been worth it ❤️

as for the tip jar - I’m an engineer in the imperial core, I truly don’t need the money. If anyone here wants to thank me, give whatever you were going to give to me to elevated access or another trans-related charity, or to people in need in Palestine, Congo, or another anti-imperialism struggle close to your heart. If you want to thank me and you don’t have the money, just pay it forward and use my hardware, once it’s released, to help make life a little easier for another trans girl.

Hi! @Edie@hexbear.net summed it up pretty well, the thing I’m looking for is to have very simple 3D models associated with all of the library components, so that in my KiCAD 3D viewer, it’s not just an empty PCB. KiCAD has defaults for resistors, capacitors, and ICs, (which all need to be set up actually, that’s another part of this ask), but things like the potentiometers, battery holders, and phono jack could be modeled as a couple of cylinders and boxes per the datasheets. The two purposes this would serve is providing visuals for instruction guides and the website, and to help enclosure designers have something to work around. These are both of moderate importance - not blocking development, yet would still be nice to have. That is to say, there’s no rush but if you’re feeling motivated it’d be a neat thing to do!

honestly, U1, U2, U5, and U7 are a bummer with a normal soldering iron. you can totally do them but it took me a lot of effort and redos, plus I burnt a chip or two or three. It’s also a bit late to design them out. I think I’m going to try to order RC2 built from JLCPCB, so once I do that and vet the basics of the design it’s a great time to hop in! You can still build it yourself if you want but then the option to just order one done will be on the table too. I’m glad you’re excited

I’m very uncomfy around patch files in general, I’ve never worked with this development workflow before, so I’m just going to take a bit of time to get up to speed!

first things first - the repo and the site are actually not connected right now, the site is just some raw HTML I wrote and the repo is blank, iirc? So I couldn’t tell if you were patching from the repo or the site. I found the official guide at https://git-send-email.io/, but that appears to be more for sending patches than accepting them, so it wasn’t super helpful to me. I just downloaded the contents of your email and tried to use patch directly on the contents in my working directory, but it looked like it threw some errors and I got scared off. Do you have some time to work with me on it tonight? I think I’ll make a matrix account so we can talk about it, if you have one yourself and like that method of communication!

thank you <3 my first mission is to get the hair off of my knuckles! It’s very accessible for self work, it’s good practice, it’s very not affirming hair even after becoming a lot thinner and lighter, and because it’s thinner and lighter, the kill time per hair is a good amount lower too! Probably one or two hours of work first pass do both hands! and of course, any user testing time that involves couch time with the girlies should be very fun too 🙃

Once I’ve done that, I think I’ll have a good read on the board user experience wise for RC2 changes. I deeply appreciate you stopping by for all of these! I reference your technical advice every time I start a new design and I’m gonna roll some of your more recent advice into the RC2 as well. Thanks for stopping in

the black soldermask was like $2 more but I think it was so worth it, I kinda made a snap desicion that this one was gonna photograph well and planned accordingly. and yes! building shit is so good! This is my biggest solo project ever and it has been making me feel very good, although for me especially but I think for everyone to a certain extent, solo work is super challenging. Do you have a local makerspace? I’m not working thru one right now but I dearly miss every time I’ve spent time building in one, or especially with people in one!

glad to hear you can confirm that professionally! I’m happy that it’s a reasonable idea! It definitely takes the pressure of “okay this board isn’t an alpha so nothing can be wrong” and instead I can just go backwards - nothing is wrong, so we can call it not an RC any more. I’m glad you’re excited 🎉

NO YOU

hi I appreciate you stopping by! <3

I hope I can have something for you soon! I don’t want to false advertise - laser can do a lot that this can’t, particularly for diffuse dark body hair and minimal session time, and even if (when) I stick the landing and make something perfect, it’ll be challenging to impossible for self use in a lot of the most important areas. It’s ideal if you have another person to work on you or to work on each other together with - it takes things from time consuming and difficult to time consuming and rote but very achievable. I know a fair bit about different hair removal methods at this point though, so if you have questions, about my thing or in general, let me know!

thank you and also you’re gonna make me cry

cool! I’m excited that you’re excited! I’d probably recommend waiting at least until the next alpha at this point, there are a ton of brand new changes in this and I’d hate to have you build something completely busted. I might be three weeks instead of two on the next post, but I’ll try to remember to let you know if it’s a complete dysfunctional mess as soon as I know. You’re on the watch list now btdubs
